When emotions run wild
And stress overloads
It’s time to back off
Switch to defusing mode
When your whole world
Seems like it’s falling down
And you tremble
Too afraid to make a sound
Release the pain
To the page let it go
Write it all down
Like a river, let it flow
Let the tears you cry
Land on the page as words
Let it lift your heart
Like a flock of loving birds
As the pain exits
Replaced by calmness in your soul
See the power in your words
Make them a healing goal
As soothing to the beast
Is the melody in music
And comforting to the soul
Writing is therapeutic
